Most here would be really familiar with Linux, and all it’s benefits, and differences to that other most popular OS.
Just as something is popular doesn’t have to mean it’s good for you, lets take McDonald’s food chain for a fun example. ???

Watch the Interesting Video. It gives a simple Perspective on why Linux is strong.

While Linux is running our phones, friend requests, tweets, financial trades, ATMs and more, most of us don’t know how it’s actually built. This short video takes you inside the process by which the largest collaborative development project in the history of computing is organized. Based on the annual report “Who Writes Linux,” this is a powerful and inspiring story of how Linux has become a community-driven phenomenon.
More information about Linux and The Linux Foundation can be found at http://www.linuxfoundation.org and http://www.linux.com

Also to see an expert at work pop over to:
Topic: Security of Linux kernel,and wider,whole OS
A Linux User raises a valid question, the Expert; namely Old-Polack, gives the truth about such thoughts, as he has time and time again. Building one of the most Popular Ten Linux Desktop Environments, PCLinuxOS, he knows what goes where :smiley:

Linux Foundation Branches Out: 10 Efforts Beyond Linux

By definition, the Linux Foundation has Linux as its core mission, helping to bring the community of Linux developers and vendors together and fostering the right environment for collaboration.

When the Linux Foundation started—it was created in 2007 as a result of the merger between the Free Standards Group (FSG) and Open Source Development Labs (OSDL)—Linux was the only thing that the group did.

But in 2014, that’s no longer the case. The Linux Foundation’s expertise in open source and penchant for organizing disparate groups for efficient collaboration and development are core competencies, and its collaboration skills now extend beyond the realm of Linux into multiple collaboration projects.

Those collaboration projects, which the foundation oversees, span the spectrum of computing activities, from virtualization to software-defined networking (SDN) to even the nascent Internet of things (IoT) movement.

In this slide show, eWEEK takes a look at some of the efforts the Linux Foundation is leading beyond just Linux. - See more at: http://www.eweek.com/developer/slideshows/linux-foundation-branches-out-10-efforts-beyond-linux.html/?kc=EWKNLLIN02182014STR1&dni=106778006&rni=23811760#sthash.HKsPKcs2.dpuf
